One last visit to Italy before we journey to the USA. Here we consider two stories, one real and one fictional: the life and times of Peppino Impastato, and Giorgio De Maria's work of occult, visionary genius, The 20 Days of Turin. I haven't been able to think of one without thinking of the other all year long, and tonight I try to figure out why, exploring the Anno di Piombo, history, terrorism, alienation, paranoia, the mafia, and where we might go from here. It's low-key my favourite episode of everything we've done so far, so I really hope you dig it too.

...and don't get captured.

A freewheeling look at the dark heart of the British Establishment, examining the Le Cercle Complex, MI5/6, and the overlapping worlds of spooks and media, politics and business. By no means exhaustive, this is us propping open the door marked "Britain" in the nightmare funhouse of GSFTEOTW, surveying the room and summarizing what we see within, before we journey to the part of the house marked "United $nake$ of Amerikkka". Enjoy!

...and don't get captured.

The final episode of the Italy quartet, and the one that's been a long time coming - we look at the dark tale of Roberto Calvi, the Bank of God, corruption in high finance, and a neofascist Masonic lodge. It's a story that will blast your third eye clean, and seriously shit you up.

(apologies for the weird gaps in the opening 10, my cat was looming)

...and Don't Get Captured.

Here it is, the Second Mafia War. In this monster-length outing, we talk mafia politics, heroin trafficking, the real Corleone family, the CIA, Luciano, Lansky, terrorist bombings, massacres, murders, and more. It’s a blood soaked journey through one of the darkest periods of Italy's recent past, and a sorely overlooked part of modern European history to boot.

What do we mean when we talk about "the mafia"? In this episode, we go back over 200 years to offer a brief history of Italy's three crime syndicates, touching on politics, economics, Freemasonry and more!

Apulia - "Camorra Barese"

El Domingo - "'ndrangheta, Camurra e Mafia"

We are back with the first of a new quartet of episodes! This time we're looking at the Years of Lead, and the story of Aldo Moro's kidnapping by the Red Brigades. Political idealism, deep intrigue and staggering violence collide in an event that still casts a long shadow today. We cap off with a brief book recommendation too! Apologies for the layoff; hopefully you remain un-captured.

For anyone who ever suspected "They" were out to get you, here it is: Operation Gladio, the notorious secret armies of NATO. We explore the formation and activities of the famous stay-behind networks, taking in terrorism, the CIA and the mafia, while also discussing Italy in the post-war period.
